Do you like butter? It's delicious not only to spread it on bread but also to stir-fry it. Stir-fried spinach and this butter soy sauce ... Hmm, it's irresistible. Some of my friends are fierce people who like to drink butter melted in the microwave.

For such butter, I got the information that "There seems to be a ranch in Narita, Chiba prefecture where you can experience handmade butter"! eh. Isn't butter something you buy at a supermarket? Can you make it yourself? concern! Or rather, I want to eat!

… And if you're curious, check it out. Immediately, Chiba Prefecture went all the way to Narita!

■ Arrived at "Narita Dream Dairy Farm" in Chiba Prefecture!

The destination this time is "Narita Dream Dairy Farm" in Chiba Prefecture. The nearest station is JR Namegawa Station. It is located near Narita, and you can see airplanes flying at a height very close to the ground. From this Namegawa station, take a free shuttle bus to the ranch.

Purchase an admission ticket and go to the reception desk for the butter making class. The schedule of the hands-on classroom may differ depending on the month and day of the week, so it is recommended to check the website in advance! While being pulled back by the letters "Rabbit House" on the way, we will cut through the ranch to the place where the classroom is located.

Finish the reception and wait for a while until the start time. The classroom where you can experience is the restaurant in the ranch. He was convened when he was distracted by the words pasta made with vegetables and hayashi rice that had been carefully simmered. After washing your hands, it's time to start!

■ Make butter and start.

Lined up on the table are plastic bottles of white liquid. … Well, this is all? The contents of this bottle are fresh cream made from milk from Narita Dream Dairy Farm. You can make butter by sprinkling this all the time!

Is Shaba Shaba's liquid really butter? While having a feeling of half-belief, she shakes innocently for the time being. It's a fairly simple task. If you keep shaking silently, the watery sound will gradually disappear and the contents will harden. Oh, it looks like butter! However, this state is still in the second stage. "Please shake it again until it makes a buzzing sound," said her sister. ... not yet! ??

Arms that are getting heavier and slower. Shake the bottle while sighing. "It's a little long from here ~" Sister, that kind of heart-wrenching thing ... After that, keep shaking for about 5 minutes, and finally a faint watery sound is heard. Is this finally ...? When you open the bottle and have it checked, it's OK! Yay!

■ Butter is completed

The water from this butter part is called buttermilk, which is slightly sweet and delicious when you drink it. (Some people are not good at it.) Drain the water well and put the butter in a bowl. Mix with the right amount of salt and you're done with butter!

Butter that was completed after shaking for about 10 minutes. After the hard work, the deliciousness was waiting. When you put it on a cracker and eat it, it feels like whipped cream in your mouth! I'm impressed! Perhaps because it's fresh cream, I feel that the butter itself has a gentle sweetness. It's supposed to be oil, but it's not oily at all, and you'll want to put a lot of it on the crackers.

The smooth taste, which is completely different from the butter that you always eat at home, is unique to handmade ranch. Unfortunately, I can't take it home, but it would be really delicious if I applied it to freshly baked bread.

Even children can easily make it, so it seems that they can be enjoyed by the family. In addition to making butter, this ranch also holds sausage making classes and jam making classes. The easiest thing to do is the butter class, but it is also recommended to choose what you like and experience it!

■ I enjoyed "Narita Dream Dairy Farm"

By the way, this ranch has various hot spots and hot gourmet foods in addition to the hands-on classrooms. Speaking of ranch, you can't help but eat soft serve ice cream, gelato, freshly squeezed milk, ranch sausage, etc. Ice cream is irresistible as expected. Soft serve ice cream gives you a more milky taste, but the aftertaste of gelato is refreshing and the milky taste is hard to throw away, so if you can afford it, you may try two ...!

Not to mention the taste of milk. Sweet, really sweet! The taste that you can drink as much as you want is unique to freshly squeezed. You can also take the bottled items home. Ranch sausages are slightly spicy sausages with a rich smoke scent. The gravy overflows and seems to go well with beer ... By the way, you can also enjoy local beer at the restaurant on the ranch!

In addition, you can enjoy milking experience, horseback riding, ranch-like attractions such as ponies and contact animal plazas, and sports such as archery and motocross. There were also 10 servings of "Mess Tin Do Pudding" made from Mess Tin, which is perfect as a souvenir, and lip balm and hand cream using milk!
